Network Cables

This document provides instructions for wiring network cables. It lists the materials and tools needed, which include a crimping tool, LAN tester, RJ-45 connectors, and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It describes straight-through and crossover cables and their uses. The steps to wire a network cable are outlined, including cutting the cable sheath, arranging the wire colors, crimping the connector onto the wires using a crimping tool, and testing the cable before installation.

NETWORK CABLES

Queenie Mae Villamor


MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED:
1. Crimping Tool
-a device used to conjoin two pieces of metal by
deforming one or both of them in a way that causes
them to hold each other. The result of the tool’s work
is called a crimp.
2. LAN Tester
• (for RJ11,12,45& BNC w/ Remote Unit)
• -this ergonomic tester is designed to test
most network cable wiring. You can either
conduct an auto or manual test.
RJ-45 Connectors (Registered Jack-45)
• -a standardized physical network interface
for connecting telecommunications or data
equipment. It is an 8-pin/8-position plug or
jack commonly used to connect computers
onto Ethernet-based LAN.
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• -a popular type of cable used in
computer networking that consists of
two shielded wires twisted around
each.
What are the needed network
cables?
Straight-Through Cables
• It refers to cables that have the pin
assignments on each end of the cable. In
other words Pin 1 connector A goes to Pin
1 on connector B, Pin 2 to Pin 2 ect.
Straight-Through wired cables are most
commonly used to connect a host to client.
2. Crossover Wired Cables
-(commonly called crossover cables) are very
much like Straight-Through cables with the
exception that TX and RX lines are crossed (they
are at opposite positions on either end of the
cable. Crossover cables are most commonly used
to connect two hosts directly. Examples would be
connecting a computer directly to another
computer, connecting a switch directly to another
switch, or connecting a router to a router
How to Wire Network Cable?
1. Cut into the plastic
sheath about 1 inch (2.5
cm) from the end of the
cut cable. The crimping
tool has a razor blade
that will do the trick with
practice.
2. Unwind and
pair the similar
colors.
3. Pinch the wires
between your fingers
and straighten them
out as shown. The
color order is
important to get
correct.
4. Use crimping tool to
make a straight cut
across the 8 wires to
shorten them to 1/2
inch (1.3 cm) from the
cut sleeve to the end of
the wires.
5. Carefully push all
8 unstripped
colored wires into
the connector. Note
the position of the
blue plastic sleeve.
Also note how the
wires go all the way
to the end.
6. Crimping the cable
carefully place the
connector into the
Ethernet Crimper and
cinch down on the
handles tightly. When
you remove the cable
from the crimper, that
end is ready to use.
7. Make sure to
test the cables
before
installing them
by using LAN
Tester.
